This architectural layering should make our implementation more flexible
and reusable;
for instance,
it should be possible to replace
SJSXP with Woodstox and it
should just work (tm).
We have done some testing and that seems to be the case but we would appreciate
independent confirmation.

So, can you help us?
Check
Jitu's blog
for simple steps to do the replacement.
Thanks!

There is a new release of SJSXP, the implementation of
StAX in the
GlassFish community.
The latest batch of changes to the implementation have been driven by the
recent
release of JAX-WS 2.1
and include performance improvements and bug fixes.

JAXP 1.4 is now final.
This is a "maintenance release"
(JSR 206) but a substantial one.
The main new addition is support for StAX
(JCP,
wikipedia)
but there are other changes too
(Change Log).
This is the same version that goes into
Java SE 6;
you can also use it with JRE 1.4 and JRE 5.0 using the
Endorsed Standard Override
mechanism.

The implementation is delivered as two JARS (API + Impl) for simplicity and uses the
StAX
and
JAXP implementations from GlassFish
which build on
Xerces 2 Java.
Check the blogs from
Santiago
and
Norm for some more details.

All this code is Open Source, and so will be the implementation of the next version of the spec.
